MOTM

The MPX-1 has in input level switch to choose between Unbalanced (8 dBu 
to -14 dBu) and Balanced (+20dBu to -2dBu).  I am using the inputs 
unbalanced at the higher sensitivity, patched from my mixer effects 
sends.  I suppose I could switch to the lower sensitivity, but the MOTM 
outputs are unbalanced.  Shouldn't matter if the ring lug gets grounded 
by a patch cord, right?  The outputs are +18 dBu at max scale.  I'll 
just have to try it.  The only thing I did with the MIDI on the MPX-1 
was hook it to my keyboard MIDI out.  But I did not try using it as a 
controller for the MOTM-650.  I'll try that too.  Thanks for the ideas.
